A Few Poems

The Beach

there is no mystery in a wave
the moon pulls and the rest behaves
and what washes upon the shore
is a reminder that life once began in a shell.


Untitled

i’m anonymous –
holding onto pieces of myself with the strength
of a stereotype.
your gangster face weeps.
who shredded your smile?

The Seducer (written in my notebook while attending a philosophy course)

i was told about nietzsche, that he was dead
and love was a mere acceptance of being.

your dreams, as simple as a rose bush, secretly became mine.

maybe kierkegaard’s diary holds the answer,
or shall it remain timeless?


FLOWER POEMS

Anemone (one of my favorite flowers)

she's a grove-queen grasping for red
topless and manic, with bits of cold-black
bathing in a kettle-fizz of pink that bursts
into a numb and hot flower.


Hydrangea

i understand deadwood;
the emerging leaf
from a stem.
